Conversation with Ian Condry of Hearby

We are living in the age of ever changing technological advances and constant updates. What does it all come down to? Creativity. How does one define it, and is it a process that happens in a laboratory? Is it the result of an idea? Is it more of a feeling you get when you’re trying something new and exciting?

For me it can be all of the above. The first word that comes to mind is attitude. Let’s narrow creativity and social media to one never ending cultural trend - Live Music. Live music has a way to connect with people who share your interest and/or peaks your curiosity to experience something new with people who doesn’t care about what you do for a living. No judgment along with no government. That’s right, I said it, NO GOVERNMENT.

With so many different types of people around the world, social media has become a way for people from all walks of life to connect and share their ideas with each other. And this is just one example that social media has changed how we view creativity.

Hearby is at the intersection of creativity and technology because of Ian Condry and Gary Halliwell. Their mission is to get people into venues, to support local artists. Its Condry mission is to “rebuild the neighborhood economy through social energy and cosmic ideas.”

Condry also emphasized on the “like and swipe world,” how important it is to step away from the screen and “meeting people where they are.” Therefore, the team of Hearby combined state of the art AI and anthropology to provide a new kind of user experience - and a different kind of experience. Because it’s with “LIVE MUSIC NEARBY.”
